How do y’all do with your drafts? (1 Viewer)

[Haybale]

So I’ve used this app for probably the last 6+ years and it’s helped me do well and secure championships in different leagues a decent amount of times. But I feel like my draft is 100% trash every year. I always walk away feeling like I got a good team and then I end up fighting the rest of the season to make up for it. Don’t get me wrong, I love this app and will always use it, the info this offers me allows for me to dominate every wire and trade I can get my hands on. But I feel like if I could just draft better my chances at winning would increase drastically. Are there any special tips for how y’all set your draft settings? Do y’all use this service for drafting? I’ve contemplated using a different service for the draft and then just using this the rest of the year, but maybe it’s just my settings. My two leagues I care most about are a 10 team keeper standard scoring league and a 12 team standard league (where everyone drafts RBs for like the first 4 rounds). Any advice would be great, feel like if I could snag a better draft it would be huge for me. Thanks in advance to any advice.

Are you talking about the FBG subscription or a specific tool like draft dominator?

The draft dominator. It comes with this sub. I usually use that to draft but then feel like my team doesn’t turn out strong. I’m not sure if my weighting’s are just trash or what. The season long pass helps me fix it by the end of the season but I feel like I start 0-4 before starting to fix my team fully.

For me I want to build my own team.  It's not fun just using a tool and then having it auto draft.  It kind of defeats the purpose of playing for me.

I take the information and then make my own draft lists and decisions.

I guess I’m mostly talking about 12-16 team leagues drafting in rounds10-13. I’m grabbing people the DD thinks will be solid and then I replace so many people I drafted even as early as round 7 with waivers week one. I know a lot of that is just random luck and early uncertainty. But just feel like I immediately start chopping up my team lol

Those are the most fun rounds.  They are all a crapshoot and I like trying to figure my own "sleepers".  Again, this is where doing research and coming up with a list of your guys to get in those rounds.  

As far as bad early round picks I am not sure what to say to that.
